Its Monday 5/20/24 and I'm watching this again because of the power outages going on now . I like your idea if you ever move you take it with you. The whole home back up generator business is going to boom in Houston and I will not pay those high prices. This is a great alternative but I'm concerned of the long term reliability of the genny. Thanks Gavin for your videos and hope you got power.
Thanks for watching and subscribing, we finally got power back
I have the Genmax9000ied - got me thru the derecho and now Beryl running my whole home (including central air). With a soft start on your a/c and the setup like Gavin does so you can just plug into your house and switch it to run it all, its the way to go if you live here. Am upgrading to this one though to be able to run off natural gas. For the money, think it will get you thru a few years, when the next greatest thing is available.
Great video of the New 10500 inverter generator. Can’t wait to see what else it can do in the load tests. 👍
Intelligente Lösung mit dem Tisch, Danke!
I really love the table cover you made for your Generator. If you see the shed i made for my Westinghouse 28000 Generator you would think i had my own power plant running my house i really over did it. i wish i saw this first.
Pics please
Thank you so much. I was looking for inverter generator tri-fuel to power my 5-ton AC and your video has everything that i needed. Even the AC LRA. Perfect.
You are welcome!
All of your videos and reviews are extremely helpful. Thank you!
Thanks buddy 😊
That Genmax sounds just as good as my Kohler! Nice product.
That is a sturdy-looking table.
Love the table, great video as always!
Tri-Fuel is such a great way to go!
Gavin, thank you for another awesome video/review! 👍🙏❤️
This is a great machine. I got mine on Friday!
I did learn, though, that while they kindly include a 120v style plug (NEMA 5-15P) as a ground-neutral bonding plug, the GFCIs on the generator don't really like it and will trip, which cuts off the neutral path and breaks the bond (I was running it stand-alone not connected to my inlet and this generator is floating neutral). My fix, since I'm not using the 50 amp outlet and that outlet is not GFCI protected, was to take the 50 amp plug that they include and made it into a ground-neutral bond. Problem solved!
Yes, I don't think you can use bonding plugs on GFCI outlets, so your solution is great. If one is using the 50 amp plug, you could use the 30 amp for the bonding plug as well. Of course, the bonding plug just lets you use the outlets like a worksite machine, so it's not something you would be using while the unit is plugged into your house.
Nice review. Just grabbed this bad boy on an Amazon lighting sale for $2465 (15% off). Can’t wait to get it and fire it up.
How was your delivery? Go smooth?
Thanks for this genmax video. What a great machine!!!
Just joined young man love The load test I have a 30 amp class c I me own the 3400 champion quiet inverter and the 2300 duel feul max pro love them both
Thanks Kevin 👍🏾
Love these trifuel inverter gennys. This one has a lot of great features. I will probably get one to back up my 2 year old 22kw Generac whole-house since it is not very reliable.
I gave up on installing a 22kw standby since everyone wants $500 per year to maintain it in the DC Metro area.
Wow really they don't talk about that
nice unit very quiet
A wireless display (or smart phone app) to monitor power utilization, fuel level, and better yet, a way to toggle smart idle on and off, would all be awesome and welcomed features!
I installed a magnetic drain plug and magnetic dipstick in my Predator 9500. Genmax should include them from the factory as another bonus feature. (Or preferably switch to pressurized lubrication and an oil filter, but I’m asking for a lot.)
I don’t think it’s asking for a lot. It’s just the price increase would also have to be excepted
You do amazing unbiased videos, but I have to ask. What is your go to reliable generator that you use for your RV and home?
This is the generator I use for my home but for my RV I use the genmax 7250 W
looks good but who services this unit? I like to keep with Honda because everyone works on them
I just bought my GM9000ied two months barely 😢 wish I could get this one.
Just buy another and parallel them and get more power. Great to have a backup if one goes down too. 😊
What are the inrush amps on your AC now with the soft start?
I’ve got a large standard generator, but I need to get a large inverter one. Maybe next year. I will be sure to buy it from you.
On my 3.5ton heat pump/ac I went from over 100amps of locked rotor rating (I never actually measured starting amps before) to 25amps with a microair easystart. Not only is it a much better ball park for a generator, my utility bills went down and lights don't dim when it comes on which was a problem in certain rooms, usually those with dimmer switches.
What would be your choice between the Genmax 10500 TriFuel or a Pulsar 9500 Dual Fuel Inverter Generator? It will be used on a bbq concession trailer with a 50 AMP plug. It has a Pioneer mini split but needs an additional A/C installed on top.
Hey Greg
Thanks for the email looking forward to hearing from you
DuroMax just dropped a 16kW dual fuel inverter for $5000 today. Price is too high but they moved the bar. XP16000iH
Yes, I should have it on the channel soon
I saw that but for a little more, you could buy two of these and run them in parallel. Plus (for me) this is a tri fuel and I plan on using NG. Also, I just spoke with Gavin and he confirmed the two units running in parallel will be running a lot quite that this one.
Yes sir
Gavin not a question about the 10500iETC but on the Genmax 6000. I takes for ever to start on propane. Should I install a purge button in line and would that help. I don't like having to add gas just to start the generator then switch to propane.
You could purge the line before tightening it all the way, but at least the unit will try again automatically.
Am i correct in understanding the only items running other than the central AC was the refrigerator and 2 ceiling fans?
Good question
Hey Gavin, I just bought the Pulsar version of this generator, trying to run a 4 ton Carrier AC unit with a soft start on natural gas, just like you.
Unfortunately, mine won’t start it! It actually wouldn’t even start a 3.5 ton unit while it was on low idle mode.
The only difference I can see between your setup and mine is that I am using the 30A outlet, not 50A. My old Champion 100520 could start that AC on 30A, so I expected the Pulsar could too. I’m not tripping any breakers on the house or the generator, so I can’t really process through why I would need a 50 amp instead of a 30 amp, but again it’s the only difference I see from where you were able to do this successfully.
Am I wrong? Do I need a 50A inlet for the pulsar to kick on the AC with the soft start?
Try a 50amp inlet with 6 gauge wire and you will be able to get your unit running plus what soft start are you using
Great video. What size wire did you run from your outlet box to I guess your double pole 50 amp breaker in the panel. Thanks
Yes
Anyone know what the reliability is on the Genmax? Overall on Amazon most have lower reviews than other brands.
Nice
Thanks
Love your generator reviews. Can you compare the Genmax to the Predator 9500 in terms of sound levels, maintenance accessibility, performance? What size gas hoses and do you have a link?
Links in the description and yes I will do that video for you 👍🏾
Good
Hey Gavin - a bit off topic here, but have you seen the new Duromax XP16000iH? Looking forward to your test on that beast!
Yessir, I have and ones coming my way from Duromax for reviewing
Can you use the 30amp plug on the generator to connect the house or its best to use the 50amp? As always great video plug
Yes, you can use your 30 amp plug to connect to a 30 amp inlet.
Is the fuel selector a solenoid or motorized ball valve? I read about the solenoid failing on similar models.
I think it is a motorized ball valve
What kind of amperage inrush are you seeing on that 5 ton AC after the soft start install? I got mine (4 ton) down to around 32A (was 117 LRA) but on NG I am worried that it still isn't enough. Max amperage being 35A on NG.
After I installed the soft start, I’m seeing around 39A
Wow, and this thing is doing it! Good stuff.@@GeneratorReviews
Gavin, do you know when the larger V twin Genmax inverter generator will be hitting the market? I am getting ready to pull the trigger on a Westinghouse Wgen12000dfc but really like these Genmax generators. Hopfully the Vtwin version will have a spin on oil filter.
I don’t have an exact date
The "ultimate" generator is a diesel generator that runs at 1800 rpms, but has been converted to run on natural gas. I'm currently looking at a 14.5k watts for $8,700. The system is rated for 30,000 hours before it needs to be overhauled. They also have a 21k version for $10,000. It uses very little fuel compared to a 3600 rpm generator. You can directly plumb it into your home's natural gas supply and have unlimited fuel.
Everyone has a different definition of “ultimate”. I agree that a diesel 1800rpm machine makes for an excellent permanently installed standby generator, but you can’t easily pick that up and take it with you. These higher capacity portable inverter units are so versatile.
bnnnnn
You would be also hard pressed to pick up this 247 pound beast and take it w you… id like to see how folks put this in the back of the truck? Lets do a vid on this please…Gavin this sounds loud?
What is the name of the diesel generator and can you purchase it in the US?
Have you made a video yet on the proper break in steps/procedures that you recommend for these generators?
Not yet but I’ll will be making one soon
Great video! Can you provide link for soft start you used?
Also been seeing a lot about floating neutral vs bonded. Did you have to change generator to floating neutral since you’re connected to your house panel?
If you want to use the generator for potable use do you have to bonded it again?
This generator is floating neutral no need for conversion
Micro air EasyStart
Good to know! Thank you.
Great video. Will this run a 50 amp fifth wheel with 2 15,000 btu A/C units? What would the run time be? Thanks
You’ll probably get about 24 hours per tank but it would run absolutely everything in that RV
Thanks for the great content. I will have a similar issue of NG and electric far apart like you. Please provide a link for that 50’ NG hose. What length is the NG hose that comes with the generator? Can they be connected to each other for additional length if needed?
Hi
The hose is 25ft and I will post the links to my website
@@GeneratorReviews couldn't find it on your website. Is it 1/2 or 3/4"?
Should an inverter generator be able run indefinitely at 80% of its rated output? My new Genmax 9000 trips its overload breaker after running at 5700 Watts for about 5 minutes. Is that normal?
Something is overloading did you turn off your water heater? Make sure you turn off all the circuits that’s not being used
Can you suggest an ATS that will cut on/off generator automatically and work with the Genmax ATS cable.
Genmax is still in the process of developing this ATS unit
What is the manufacturer's recommended maximum continuous runtime on natural gas
I will have to look into this
how hard/heavy is it to move the generator from one place to another? Iam concerned about the weight and the noise level. Thank you.
It is very easy to move it around thanks for the handleand the wheels
Did the AC unite work with 10500 watts generator everybody show videos but I don't see they turn on the AC unite to test they only turn the lights and ceiling fans but don show the AC compressor runing
Check out the videos at 9.49
Positive Comment!!!
Interested in the soft starter for the compressor
Also I have a 5000 watt genny on NG running whole house with 2 freezer 1 full size refrigerator 1 smaller
Can use heating but won’t handle Ac
So this genny with with the soft starter would be awesome
Next what is the difference between the 13000 watt reg vs the 10000 inverter
Also, this one is an inverter pure sine wave so you get less than 3% THD clean power so you want to harm any of your sensitive electronics and appliances
hey my friend! if i want to use in parallel, do i have to have the same exact genmax model? the manual says so but i was just checking since i saw you use 2 different models in parallel
It works best with the same model because of the updated parallel plug on the 10500
@@GeneratorReviews got it, thank you
Gavin, can you parallel the Genmax GM 10500 with the genmax 4000 inverter generators together?
Unfortunately, No you can’t because the 4000 is 120 V inverter and the 10,500 is a 240 V inverter they’re not compatible to parallel
I haven't seen this issue mentioned much so maybe it's a non-issue, but I'm wondering if people have problems running a heat pump with their generator when the heat pump enters a defrost cycle. Since connecting my air handler to an emporia energy monitor I've realized that my air handler jumps from 500 watts to 10kw for a couple minutes every couple hours, likely running heat strips during a defrost cycle.
The rest of the time my whole house including the 3 ton heat pump uses under 7kw. I'm left wondering if even after installing an easy start I'll need to find a way to disable the aux heat for defrost cycles, or if I should just plan on using space heaters unless I get a 2nd 10500iETC to parallel.
It’s most likely exactly like you said your heat strips are coming online requiring a higher demand. Is there anyway you can deactivate that?
@@GeneratorReviews From what I've read so far, heat strips in the air handler can be either triggered by the thermostat for aux/emergency heat or by heat pump itself for maintaining comfort when the heat pump goes into defrost mode and basically switches to ac mode blowing cold air for a couple minutes.
Nothing I do at the thermostat can prevent the communication coming from the heat pump for heat strips to come on during defrost so the advice I've seen is to disconnect the W wire from the low voltage junction box at the heat pump, with it making no difference in the defrost performance, just the comfort of anyone near the hvac vents while defrost occurs. I'm hoping it would work to install an inline low voltage switch somewhere between the heat pump and the air handler so that I can just disable the heat strips when needing to use generator power vs needing to open the panel and insert/remove a wire if/when I want to change it.
All of this is odd because I didn't even think the air handler had heat strips since the paperwork I received with the house listed heat strips as an option that wasn't selected and even on days when the temperature has been below 20F my whole house energy use has rarely topped 7kw per hour, so it was a surprise to see energy use for the air handler alone bump up to 10kw. The frequency and duration matches when I should expect defrost to occur. The air handler and heat strips must share a circuit as there is only one cable going to it, rated at 60 amps/240 volts, on a 90 amp subpanel running nothing else. The large gauge wiring had been reused from the prior system so I had thought it was simply funny to have a 500 watt fan on a 90 amp dedicated panel. The heat pump is on a separate 40 amp circuit on the main panel.
@@GeneratorReviews I unhooked and capped the white low voltage thermostat wire from the heat pump defrost board and now defrost runs fine without triggering the heat strips. I haven't noticed any discomfort from the heat strips not running. It would be easy to reconnect if desired.
Heat strips typically have a dedicated breaker in the panel. Find that and turn off. Defrost will blow cold air while heat strips are disabled but will be fine as long as the compressor can still generate heat with the outdoor temperatures. Some compressors are disabled in negative temps and heat strips become primary in that situation. Then it would be better to throw the compressor breaker off and run strips in emergency heat mode.
@@projectswithjw A separate circuit would be helpful. My air handler apparently shares a 60 amp circuit with the heat strips. My heat pump manual has heat efficiency data down to -5F. It's only twice as efficient as resistance heat at 10F but it rarely gets below 15F here in NC.
I just bought the sam's club model
What is the NG size here? 3/4? 1/2?
How warranty work on that one. If I buy extended one where is should go if something happens to it ?
You would contact the manufacturer and set up a warranty service
0:48 is the line out of your house a 1/2” gas line with a shutoff?
Yes it is
Has anyone replaced the dip stick with a magnetic one? and if so which make/model...ty
You can find that one on Amazon
What size natural gas line do you run from house to generator ?
1/2 inch natural gas line
Were did you purchase your custom NG line?
Amazon i will post the link
Can you run a generator with NatGas with more than 60% load for days in an outage?
If NatGas running watts total is 6800 and the load in the video with a/c and a few fans/lights is 5900, then that is 88% load and does not much room for refrigerator, tv, or etc.
Am i mistaken?
Yes, you can. That’s actually the perfect percentage.
Gavin, can you do the same video paralleling a 9000 IEU unit on gasoline? I have the 9000 unit on your recommendation from your videos. I am now getting the 10,500 Tri-Gas and connecting it to my gas line here at the house. I wonder how well paralleling the 9000 would work? Would I be able to run both of my AC units and everything else in the house?
As long as you have soft starts and paralleling two generators you should be able to do it
Do you think I could run a 4 ton central AC 109 LRA with a soft start and two refrigerators with this on NG?
Yes with the soft start I think it will work 👍🏾
@@GeneratorReviews awesome thank you! You like the power watch dog ? Considering that just for monitoring capabilities via my phone versus messing with something inside the panel.
Hello Gavin. Can you do a parallel 10,000 and the 9,500 to charge a Tesla and see how long it takes to charge it with those two generators together pushing all that power. I’m thinking it will hopefully be like plugging it to a super charging station.
Check out this video. It’s almost what you’re asking for.
ua-cam.com/video/9c_YJ4jhB2g/v-deo.htmlsi=xP5ST3CYiOxUz6KP
Assuming you have enough battery capacity to last for several days, if a secondary dedicated solar recharge panel array failed to charge the batteries, the generator would be the solution for automatic failover to recharge them. At that a lower capacity generator.
My natural gas connection is about 50 ft from my 50 amp inlet box. What is the inner diameter of your natural gas hose?
The provided hose is half-inch with half-inch quick connect fittings.
Mine is about 75 feet are used 50 feet of holes and 25 feet of power cable and it worked just fine
Does it auto switch from 120/240 or is it manual switch?
If you keep the switch in 120/240 you can run both loads
Been looking at the Genmax brand but only a 1 yr warranty has kept me from completing the purchase.
Genmax stands behind the warranty. You shouldn’t have to worry about anything.
Please tell me how long is the warranty, and do they have extended warranty? If I order it from you do I go to you for warranty, if needs be?
The warranty is a one-year warranty. If you have any concerns, you can call me or you can call Genmax direct I don’t have extended warranty and honestly I don’t think it’s needed.
If you have any concerns, you can call me right now. I’ll be happy to help.
Thanks for the reply, can you please send the phone number to Genmax and customer support.
very good, but nobody talks on how to have it run when it's flooding... where do you put it? even stand-by generators are usually installed on the ground, which doesn't make any sense
Free wooden pallets
I guess in case of flood I’m putting mine on top of its cover. Thanks for that great idea honestly, I never thought of it.
@@GeneratorReviews I know... it seems nobody thinks about that, but to me, that's the main concern...
Thanks for showing your soft start system. I think my electrician pulled a fast one on me. My soft starts on both A/C units have no external boxes at all. They took my money though.
@@ChatGPT1111it also be installed internally not all of them install on the outside. Depends on how old and model of your AC
Any long term reliability on these engines?Do we know if we can reliably get a few thousand hours on these?Thanks
I currently have around 20 of them running on food trucks 8 to 10 hours a day so far they’re doing great. Haven’t seen any issues on running them that hard.
@@GeneratorReviews Awesome to know,thanks for the reply.I need a backup for my backup,gonna try one of these.
The noise level shot up quite a bit pulling just about 6 amps it seemed on the camera audio at least.
The camera makes it louder
Are you going to review the Pulsar 9500W Tri Fuel Gasoline Propane Natural Gas Portable Inverter Generator ?
I’m currently getting all the tri fuel to do a comparison video. Thanks for asking. Should be doing it soon.
When do you run with low idle on and when do you run with low idle off?
I try to keep it in low idle mode as much as I can, unless I’m doing a really heavy load.
could you give like a percentage...like at 70% load you then go high idle. Will it shut off if you are doing a heavy load on low idle? ty @@GeneratorReviews
Did it come with that 50 foot NG hose?
It comes with a 25 ft 1/2 inch hose
Sorry G; what are the dimensions of the table. That table is a great design!! Thanks
The dimensions on my table is 4 x 6‘
Can you please focus/report on long term reliability & testing? Parts availability and reliability.
Meant to say ease of repair on last word.

It comes with 25 feet, but you can buy the extra hose if needed
@@GeneratorReviewsHow does this compare with the DuroMax brand?
Can you show us your gas meter? is it upgraded?
No, my gas meter is not upgraded
Gavin, when purchasing this gen from your store is an extended warranty plan offered?
Not at this time but it has a one year warranty
During natural disasters they cut natural gas a lot of times because of fires so that’s really not as dependable as propane in my opinion. I’ve worked for the utility company over 40 years and absolutely have propane stored for my emergency use.
Agreed 👍🏾
Just use gasoline propane is just to expensive.
You’re claiming propane is more expensive than gasoline🤨 How much is gasoline in your area?
I have never heard of them shutting off NG prior to or during a disaster.
What was the installation cost to get this going?
Parts and labor usually start around 800
I guess it does not matter how long your natural gas hose is from the source to the generator?
I would try and keep it under 100ft if at all possible.
@@GeneratorReviews Great, I ordered a 40 ft hose
Has anyone have any idea how long it will run on a small propane bottle?
I think you probably get about 8-10 hours running at 25% load
@@GeneratorReviews way better than my first generator I had. Maybe like 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
What part of the AC is 10,000 lbs?
I don’t understand the question please clarify
I don't believe this unit can run a whole house. Its producing maybe 40 Amps. I may be wrong but when the HVAC is running then the fridge compressor fires up, your finished.
We just had a tornado last month and a hurricane this month I lost power for six days both times I ran my 5 ton AC, three ceiling fans, refrigerator, lights, and microwave the entire time.
I have customers who did it for 18 days straight with no power.
How much gas does it consume? Can you share some data?
With a 6.9 gallons fuel capacity, it can operate for around 8.1 hours at 50% load with a full tank of gasoline (fuel consumption around 0.85 GPH). When using propane, it can run for around 4 hours (estimation based on a 20 lbs tank - propane consumption around 1.18 GPH).
Can you just turn off your natural gas at the connection from your home first. Then let the generator use up all the gas in the 50ft hose till it shuts off on its own??
Yes, that’s the best way to do it
New pulsar 4000 DF generator video! It’s hard to believe what they get out of a 47 pound machine. Also dedicating a segment to run times, testing things like propane and gas run times, eco mode vs no eco mode, same wattage inverter vs standard generator, different load types and how they affect run time, oil additives that claim to increase mpg, etc etc
Can generator be linked together
Yes it can be paralleled

I like your videos but I have to say, these Genmax gens are a piece of junk. I've had my 6000i for just a year and now its out of time and Genmax wont help with either fixing it or helping me find someone to fix it. Genmax AND Westinghouse are CHIT!
Sorry for the bad experience
I had to throw it away as they refused to honor the warranty, and nobody works on them. Thanks for encouraging me to spend my hard earned money on this junk.
I have a brand new westinghouse 12000DF that took a dump on me after 12 hours. Complete garbage.
This unit is very noisy idled at 70 dB. It would need to be enclosed and soundproofed... in cold climates it needs to be sheltered anyway to protect it from the snow.
Made in china?
Yes it is.
just buy for boat same generator
No fuel injection I'll pass.
I’m guessing your a Honda fan like me?
Maybe a turbo charger too? Good grief.
@@chalemi6909 Honda is the sole manufacturer of portable generators with fuel injection. There are many benefits to fuel injection. Namely the absence of a carburetor freezing up in cold months, better fuel economy etc. Fuel economy is critical during long duration outages. After tropical storm Isais in New England several years ago. I was amazed to see many empty gasoline jugs at a customer’s homes. One in particular had a very loud Generac portable generator. Granted he had been out of power for 5 days compared to my 2-1/2 days we were out of street power. His yard was littered with no less than 15-5 gallon fuel jugs. I had used 22 gallons of fuel. They were sweltering during the month of August. Whereas we were very comfortable with our central A/C on. You read that right. Our 5500 watt generator was able to run our entire house including our 2-1/2 ton Trane central air. Like the say “nothing runs better than a Trane”. Same applies to Honda inverter generators with fuel injection.
Hi, is it true this generator can't produce the 50 amps unless connected in parallel? So it can't use the 8500 watts?
To get 50 amp at 240v yes, you can use the 8500 watts.
I can only use the 8500 watts with two generators connected to each other?
Gavin, I have a 4 ton unit with same softstart. My house is about 1900 sq ft. Will it be able to run whole house easily? I have a westinghouse 9500 gas and its no problem.
Yes, my AC is a 5 ton
@@GeneratorReviews thanks for the fast respoinse. And is the generator not truly 50amp? I keep seeing mixed answers on this.
